Here is a tickle of a whole home remodel that I worked on for nearly three years. The Kitchen was completely gutted. We expanded the floorplan, and salvaged Doug Fir for the 3" thick 10' long island. I also designed a four person work station for each family member that multitasks as a 15' long farm table. I also painted the bases of both the island and 15' farm style table.

I designed the ice box and with Greenhammer's talent www.greenhammer.com it turned out amazing! I wanted to break up the creamy cabinetry with something unique. It's not a real ice box, instead it has a pull out shelf that stores the toaster and other appliances.

It might not look exciting, but to me, this is AWESOME! Paint colors are up at the future home of LARDO. Too bad you can't see the concrete floors...they're killer. Every day we get a little closer to opening the doors. Wait until you see what I am making for that back wall. Hint; it's two words and has something to do with pork. Is the mind churning? So come on by soon! We're thinking, hoping sometime beginning of July.
